£40K to invest in vintage watches

[Ali2202]

No room for any more cars

Whatever I go for needs to have a very good chance of appreciating over the next 10 years. One watch or a selection.

I'd welcome your thoughts and suggestions.

Cheers!

You'd be better off putting it into a small property in the north east or West Yorkshire and either just sit on it or then rent it ... much sounder investment model and probably better expected return to boot

Don't want more hassle from investment properties. Too much already!

Forget watches.

Classic British motorbikes is where it's at.

Prices going through the roof.

(And you can't ride a watch)

Literally do not have the room to store anything else. That is one of the reasons why watches appeal. Also..I do love them!

But all those Rolex SS watches mentioned above you will now pay top dollar for, and for them to show a non guaranteed return of any worth you will be looking at many years.

Hi Chaps,

Thanks for all the input so far. As per hilly10's observation above, I'm a bit reticent over Rolex SS watches due to current pricing levels. I also don't like the image much. No offence meant.

I suppose what I'm looking for are more discreet wearable watches with possible future potential. Future Classics if you like! I would have no problem hanging on to these for 15 years or so. Patek Phillipe? Speedmasters? B&M? Cartier? ....that sort of thing!

Anyway, maybe I'm after unobtanium! Just wanted to ask the PH experts on the subject.

Thanks,

Ali

It's items like these that REALLY appeal!...
